A piece of timber is immediately in your path. There is no time to stop or safely steer around it, so you must ride over it. Which action gives you the best chance of keeping control?
If riding over the object is unavoidable, keep a firm grip and a straight, upright course. Rising slightly on the footrests allows your arms and legs to absorb the impact.
